Boarded ferry at Pier 47. Peaceful short trip across the bay, great view of Alcatraz and the whole of the bay. Off loaded at Ayala Cove. Quick stop at the gift shop to pick up a map and patch. Started on trail to the left and climbed to the perimeter road. Crossed and linked with the North Ridge Trail, used trail all the way to the summit. Amazing views the way up and from the top. Used Ida Trail down to the perimeter road. Used perimeter road to Point Stuart Loop then back to Ayala Cove. I enjoyed the hike despite the crowds and complete absence of trail etiquette . I would recommend a week day to visit.
